Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
Our weekly contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful bloghop follows. (A) list of the people, places and things (real, imagined and all states in-between) that elicited, tricked-into-feeling, made-available and otherwise provided a companionable elbow to our ribs. (Why, no, nothing like an arm across a shoulder as two friends cross the Town Square. After all, one of us is a clark.)
Be that as it may.
Our Grat list:
1) Una
2) Phyllis
3) the Wakefield Doctrine “an additional perspective on the world around us and the people who make it up.”
4) modern, 21st C technology (5, 7 and 3)
5) Speaking of technology… previous to last week, we’ve been unable to properly link to TToT bloghop (what, with the little thumbnails to make it easier to find the actual writers participating here). Seems to be the computer I use to publish. I’m doing this from the computer in my office. Wait… here:
6) Christmas Tree project (Welcome to Jurassic Old Christmas Tree Park.” —John Hammond clark scottroger)
A spitting image of your host! (Minus the full beard, passive-aggressive defensiveness and the ‘from the Paris collection of Tropical rogers, hat)
7) So, Grat 6 there? A ‘real’ thing. Are we really going to take this year’s (2023) XMass tree and burying/plant it in the yard. (‘Yes. you in the back? How serious are we? So, this is your first time visiting the Wakefield Doctrine blog, no?”
8) Tree
Before:
Pre-After
After:
9) something, something
10) Secret Rule 1.3

About clarkscottroger
I love before and after pics. There is just something so satisfying about planting/taking an area of land and changing it somehow, and then watching it through the years. When I was at my parents’ house last month, my dad was talking about the evergreen trees he planted 40 years ago. He has a bona fide forest now!
Ah, technology! Love it and loathe it, all at once. Nice place for a tree!
thx
I too, but almost always forget the proper sequence for the photos…lol
Will be interesting if it lives. (Our property is mostly pine trees, but for an unknown botanical there are no spruce trees. Until now. Maybe)
So curious your computer will not allow you to properly link.
The tree – it still looks green after all these months!
(Bill’s acting skills – can’t say he wasn’t consistent over the years in facial expressions – especially the eyes, lol)
nice list and great music – thank you.
